The color is intense and beautiful, almost black with purple, reddish hues. Aromas of black cherry, cassis, piecrust, spice, and mint mingle and leap from the glass. The palate is full and concentrated with similar aromas but also featuring black currant and sweet red cherry with the mild presence of oak, seamlessly integrated. Signature finely structured tannins and balanced acidity give way to a long finish which continues to build after that last sip.

Grape blend of 90% Cabernet Sauvignon, 4% Cabernet Franc, and 3% Petite Verdot.

The Estate

Inspired by the wine movement of the 1970s in Napa Valley, Koerner and Joan Rombauer entered the wine business in 1976, then launched Rombauer Vineyards in 1980. As stewards of the land, the Rombauers have strived to produce the best wine an appellation, terroir and climate will achieve. As the second generation takes over, they are dedicated to continuing their parents’ vision.

Wine Making

The grapes were carefully destemmed
and optically sorted to ensure only
perfect fruit made it into the wine. A
cold soak extracted color and flavor
before a combination of tank and barrel
fermentation was used to a provide
richer, more textured palate. The wine
was gently basket-pressed before
being racked to French oak barrels for
malolactic fermentation and aging.

Food Suggestions

Pairs well with braised short ribs, pan roasted rack of lamb, beef, venison, mature and hard cheese, as well as poultry dishes.
